Formscan - A competitive race in which Gordon Elliott's race-fit Royal Eagle is likely to mount a bold hat-trick bid, while the progressive Black Poppy is also interesting on his first run since landing Haydock's valuable the Swinton Hurdle in May. For all that, the field is littered with likely improvers and, of that group, perhaps AFADIL is the most interesting having undergone a wind operation since scoring at Ayr on his last start.
